Yes they are but the number of electrons can change due to different reasons.
For example ionization energy can heat an electron and remove it from its atom
An electron can move from one atom to one atom so that they can neutralize their charges

Atoms must have equal numbers of protons and electrons. So to answer your question, yes protons and electrons are the same number.

Sodium reacts with chlorine gas according to the following reaction: 2Na(s)+Cl2(g)→2NaCl(s) What volume of Cl2 gas, measured at
asambeis [7]

Answer:6.719Litres of Cl2 gas.

Explanation:According to eqn of rxn

2Na +Cl2=2NaCl

P=689torr=689/760=0.91atm

T=39°C+273=312K

according to stoichiometry of the reaction,1Moles of Cl2 gives 2moles of NaCl

But 28g of NaCl was given,we have to convert this to moles by using the relation, n=mass/MW

MW of NaCl=23+35.5=58.5g/mol

n=28g(mass given of NaCl)/58.5

n=0.479moles of NaCl

Going back to the reaction,

if 1moles of Cl2 produces 2moles of NaCl

x moles of Cl2 will give 0.479moles of NaCl.

x=0.479*1/2

x=0.239moles of Cl2.

To find the volume, we use ideal ggas eqn,PV=nRT

V=nRT/P

V=0.239*0.082*312/0.91

V=6.719Litres

Select the pair that consists of a base and its conjugate acid in that order. CO32−/CO22−
lana [24]

Answer: The pair that consists of a base and its conjugate acid in that order.NH_3/NH_4^+

Explanation:

According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

H_3PO_4\rightarrow H_PO_4{2^-}+2H^+

H_2CO_3\rightarrow HCO_3^-+H^+

NH_3+H^+\rightarrow NH_4^+

HCO_3^-\rightarrow CO_3^{2-}+H^+

NH_3  is gaining a proton, thus it is considered as a brønsted-lowry base and after gaining a proton, it formsNH_4^+  which is a conjugate acid.

Which pair of atoms will form an ionic compound? A) One atom of oxygen and two atoms of fluorine Eliminate B) One atom of calciu
wlad13 [49]
An ionic compound is made up of a metal and a nonmetal. This eliminates answer choice A, C, and D because both of the elements listed are nonmetal.

Your correct answer is B) One atom of calcium and two atoms of chlorine. This is because calcium is a metal, and chlorine is a nonmetal.
